ITEM NO. 1-A
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 7, 2014
SUBJECT: MINOR AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 2010-05486 (CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010-05486C)
LOCATION: 2232 South Harbor Boulevard (formerly Battle of the Dance)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Musa Madain, representing
3M Live Bar and Grill. The property owner is P.A. Poon & Son, Inc.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of a minor
amendment to a previously-approved conditional use permit to revise the floor plan
for a previously-approved dinner theater, restaurant, and banquet facility to
accommodate a full-service restaurant and dinner theater.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission, by motion,
approve a minor amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05486C and
determine the previously approved Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate
environmental documentation for this request.
BACKGROUND: In July 2010, the conditional use permit was approved to permit a
43,500 square foot dinner theater venue known as Battle of the Dance. In May 2012,
the conditional use permit was amended to allow entertainment and community
assembly uses in conjunction with the dinner theatre, including private parties,
meetings and banquets; religious assembly; and, sporting and convention events. The
business subsequently closed in late 2012 and the building has remained vacant since
that time. Prior to the closure of the business, staff had received multiple complaints
regarding the manner in which the venue was being operated. This was largely due to
the fact that the former business operator allowed night club and concert promoters to
use the venue in violation of the conditional use permit, resulting in negative impacts
to the surrounding community. Complaints were generally related to loud music
emanating from the building and disruptive customers loitering in the parking lot. In
response to these complaints, several operational conditions of approval were included
in the resolution adopted in conjunction with the 2012 amendment; however, because
the amended permit was never exercised, these conditions have yet to be implemented
but will be prior to commencement of the new business. The 2012 resolution is
included as Attachment No. 3 to this staff report. Significant operational conditions
that must be implemented prior to commencement of the new business are
summarized in the “Analysis” section, below. The new business operator is aware of
these existing conditions of approval and has indicated his intent to comply with these
requirements in order to ensure that the proposed business operates in a manner that is
compatible with surrounding uses.
MINOR AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010-05486
April 7, 2014
Page 2 of 2
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes a minor modification to plans to allow the business to re-
open as a full-service restaurant and dinner theater. The dinner theater portion of the business would
involve a mariachi-themed live show on Friday and Saturday nights with two nightly shows. From
Sunday through Thursday the business would operate as a restaurant/sports bar. The business owner
will also continue to offer banquet facilities. Consistent with existing conditions of approval, the
new business owner proposes to operate Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
and Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. There would be no nightclub or public
dance-type activities allowed. The modifications to the floor plan include new seating areas, private
party areas, service areas for wait staff within the restaurant, and an enclosed banquet room with
stage for events such as wedding receptions and birthday parties. There are no modifications to the
live performance theater area proposed as part of this request.
ANALYSIS: Prior to commencement of the business, and in compliance with existing conditions
of approval, the applicant proposes to implement the following physical and operational
improvements:
• Relocate the existing trash enclosure from its current location in the southern
parking lot area to the north parking lot area away from adjacent residences;
• Install sound-attenuating materials on south-facing doors;
• Minimize glare on adjacent residential properties by installing shields on the
parking lot light standards;
• Prepare and implement a security plan, to be reviewed and approved by the
Police Department, to deter unlawful conduct and to ensure the safe assembly
and movement of persons and vehicles;
The business owner is also required to return to the Planning Commission for a public hearing six
months from the commencement of the business in order to ensure on-going compliance with the
conditional use permit.
CONCLUSION: Staff recommends approval of the minor amendment to the conditional use permit
because the proposed modifications to the floor plan are in substantial conformance with previously-
approved plans, and the applicant has agreed to implement prior conditions of approval intended to
minimize negative impacts to nearby residents. The proposed project would transform an existing
vacant venue into an active restaurant, dinner theater and banquet facility. This proposed use is
consistent with goals of the property’s Commercial Recreation General Plan designation which is
intended to encourage tourist and entertainment-related land uses within The Anaheim Resort area.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 7, 2014
SUBJECT: FINAL SITE PLAN NO. 2013-00003
LOCATION: 640-700 West Katella Avenue (Former Jolly Roger Hotel)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and property owner is MTB,
LLC and the agents are Greg LeBon and Rashik Patel of T2 Development.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a Final Site Plan to construct a 281-
room hotel, including a restaurant and parking structure.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolution, determining that the previously-certified Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan Master Environmental Impact Report No. 313 and Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report No. 340 serve as the appropriate environmental
documentation for this request, and approving Final Site Plan No. 2013-00003.
BACKGROUND: This 2.35-acre project site is developed with the Jolly Roger
Hotel. The site is located within the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (SP92-2) zone
and the property is designated for Commercial Recreation land uses by the General
Plan. Surrounding land uses include the Anaheim Convention Center to the west,
and hotels to the south, east and north across Katella Avenue.
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to construct a nine story, 281-room Marriott
Residence Inn. The project will include a six-level parking structure with one
underground level, a meeting room, guest dining area, fitness center, lounge, offices,
and an integrated 7,525 square foot restaurant facing Katella Avenue that would be
open to the public. A private water park with slides, children’s water play
equipment, pool, spa, and lounge deck is proposed on top of the parking structure
adjacent to the hotel building. The hotel includes a mix of standard hotel rooms and
suites. The project requires 406 parking spaces for the hotel and restaurant
combined. A total of 406 spaces will be provided.
ANALYSIS: Development within the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan is
implemented through the review and approval of Final Site Plans prior to the
issuance of building permits. The purpose of Final Site Plan reviews for hotel
projects is to ensure that the proposed design is appropriate for the site, compatible
with surrounding land uses and in compliance with specific plan requirements.
FINAL SITE PLAN NO. 2013-00003
April 7, 2014
Page 2 of 2
The applicant submitted colored elevation plans that show a ground floor with stone elements
with gray and blue accent colors. Upper floors consist of projecting, plaster covered walls with
grey and earth tone colors, including a variety of window accents. The parking structure
includes the same color scheme with “greenwalls” planted with vines to soften the elevations.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan and Zoning Code require that specific findings be made prior
to approval of a final plan. The complete findings are included in the attached draft resolution.
Staff has reviewed the plans submitted for the proposed project and has found them to be in
conformance with all provisions of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan. The proposed hotel is
compatible with the character of the surrounding hotels and development located within the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan; there will be a visual continuity between the project and the
adjacent Anaheim Convention Center and hotels; the hotel will contribute to a high quality,
visually appealing pedestrian-oriented environment; and pedestrian scale landscaping will be
provided to reinforce the area’s resort identity.
CONCLUSION: The proposed development is consistent with the goals and policies of the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan as it represents a significant positive community investment that
will enhance the visitor experience to the area . Staff recommends approval of this request.

construct a 281-room hotel with a 7,525 square foot restaurant and a six-level parking structure
(herein referred to as the "Proposed Project") for certain real property located at 640-700 West
Katella Avenue in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the
“Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 2.35 acres, is developed with a
hotel. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Commercial Recreation land uses.
The Property is located within the boundaries of Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 (SP 92-
2). As such, the Property is located in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Zone and is subject to
the zoning and development standards described in Chapter 18.116 of the Anaheim Municipal
Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 18.116.040 (Methods and Procedures for Specific Plan
Implementation) of the Code, related to the requirements for Final Site Plan review and approval
for Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2, the Planning Commission reviewed proposed Final
Site Plan No. 2013-00003 as a Report and Recommendation item at a regular meeting of its
members held at the regular meeting place thereof on April 7, 2014 at 5:00 p.m.; and
WHEREAS, on September 20, 1994, the City Council adopted the Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan to provide a long-range comprehensive plan for future development of
approximately 549.5 acres surrounding The Disneyland Resort and Hotel Circle. The Anaheim
Resort Specific Plan includes zoning and development standards, design guidelines, a streetscape
program, and a public facilities plan, intended to maximize the area’s potential, guide future
development, and ensure a balance between growth and infrastructure. The Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan permits the development of hotel, convention, retail, and other visitor-serving uses
as well as the infrastructure improvements that are needed to support future development; and
WHEREAS, in support of the adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, the City
Council certified Master Environmental Impact Report (“MEIR No. 313”); and
2 PC2014-***
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 2012-158, the City Council certified Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report No. 2008-00340 ("Final EIR No. 340") for (a) Amendment No.

environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects;
b. There have not been any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Proposed Project is undertaken that require major revisions of Final EIR No.
340 due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in

shall address the following items:
• The WQMP shall include additional information such as soils
analysis, prior contamination, depth to groundwater, etc. to
determine the acceptability and capability of this site to use
infiltration.
• The applicant shall obtain approval for infiltration from the City and
from the Orange County Water District. The City will coordinate
the review of this proposed infiltration system to obtain comments.
• The WQMP and grading plans shall show that flows are conveyed
to the infiltration trench below the permeable pavers.
• The design storm needs to be captured in the infiltration area.
Clarify how the storm drain system will be used to route flows to
the infiltration area.
• The WQMP shall show the required pretreatment for any focused
infiltration. The pretreatment system may be landscape swales,
filter strips or bio-retention areas (rain gardens), prior to reaching
the infiltration system.
• Ensure that all flows from the property are captured and treated. If
flows from the adjacent properties are co-mingled with water on this
site, then the total flow must be treated and accommodated in the
design of the infiltration system.
This project includes roadway widening and related improvements, which
will also need to treat the footprint of that portion of the project by treating
the design storm that will fall on that footprint. The treatment must be
based on Green Streets Guidelines and must obtain approval of the City’s
Operations Division and/or Resort Services.

ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 7, 2014
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05699 AND
VARIANCE NO. 2013-04932
LOCATION: 1783–1785 West Lincoln Avenue (Nubia Cafe)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is the owner of the restaurant,
Alaa Khalil, and the property owner is Yun C. Kwo.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow
an outdoor smoking lounge in conjunction with an existing restaurant. The proposal
includes a variance to allow fewer parking spaces than required by Code. On
February 24, 2014, the Commission continued this public hearing for four weeks in
order to provide the applicant with an opportunity to address questions regarding the
business’s compliance with State labor law and to further clarify proposed parking
arrangements. On March 24, 2014, the Commission continued the hearing for two
additional weeks to provide more time for the applicant to address these issues.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 1,
Existing Facilities) and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05699 and
Variance No. 2013-04932.
BACKGROUND: The 0.3-acre project site is developed with the subject restaurant
and smoking lounge and an additional restaurant in an adjacent tenant space. The
subject site is part of a larger 11,500 square foot multi-tenant commercial center
located in the General Commercial (C-G) zone. The center consists of three parcels
that are individually owned but share vehicular access. The site is designated for
Industrial land uses by the General Plan. Surrounding land uses include a motel to the
south, across Lincoln Avenue; commercial centers to the east and west; and an
industrial business to the north.
PROPOSAL: The subject business consists of a 1,280 square foot restaurant, a 1,280
square foot indoor smoking lounge, and an existing 1,213 square foot outdoor patio.
Currently, these uses share internal customer and employee access. As further described
below, the applicant is now proposing to eliminate access between the restaurant and
smoking lounge areas in order to ensure compliance with State labor law which prohibits
the service and consumption of food within enclosed smoking areas. This business was
administratively approved in 2007 because at that time, outdoor smoking lounges were
permitted by right when located more than 200 feet from residential uses.

VARIANCE NO. 2013-04932
April 7, 2014
Page 2 of 4
A 1,054 square foot expansion to the patio area was constructed without permits. This expansion is the
subject of this application because the Code was amended in 2013 to require approval of a conditional
use permit to allow all outdoor smoking lounges, regardless of location.
The restaurant and indoor smoking lounge’s entrances are oriented towards the front parking lot of the
commercial center, adjacent to Lincoln Avenue. Customers are currently able to walk freely between
these adjacent uses through interior doorways. In response to concerns raised at the last Planning
Commission meeting, the applicant now proposes to separate the existing restaurant and indoor
smoking lounge by closing two existing door openings between the two uses. Food will not be served
or consumed in the indoor smoking area. Food would be prepared and consumed in the westerly half
of the building, or restaurant area, where no smoking will take place. A new self closing door will be
installed in the rear of the restaurant space in order to provide a physical barrier between the restaurant
and outdoor smoking lounge. This separation will ensure that the business complies with State labor
law which prohibits smoking within indoor restaurants so as to prevent employees from being exposed
to second hand smoke. The outdoor smoking lounge area, which is accessed primarily through a gate
off the rear parking area, contains seating, tables, an overhead canvas canopy structure, televisions, and
portable heaters. It is partially enclosed by eight foot high walls along the north and west property
lines. The applicant indicates that hookah smoking and food consumption would only occur within the
outdoor patio area as allowed by State labor law.
As part of this request, the applicant also proposes to construct a new trash enclosure and adjacent
coal/ash container.
ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit: A conditional use permit is required for outdoor smoking lounges in this zone
to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. The smoking lounge provides a service to restaurant
patrons and does not operate independently from the restaurant. The hours of operation for the
smoking lounge coincide with the restaurant hours, which are 4:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Sunday through
Thursday and 4:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday. No live music, entertainment, or alcoholic
beverages are proposed. The nearest residential use is an apartment complex located across Lincoln
Avenue to the south, which is approximately 300 feet from the outdoor patio area where smoking
occurs. Based on this information, staff believes that the business can operate in a manner that is
compatible with surrounding uses.
The smoking lounge abuts a retail building to the west and an industrial business to the north. The
outdoor smoking lounge is enclosed with 8-foot high walls, although impacts to the adjacent businesses
are not anticipated because the peak hours for the smoking lounge occur after 9:00 p.m., when nearly
all of the adjacent businesses are closed. In order to minimize impacts to nearby businesses, staff is
recommending several conditions of approval, such as providing security to the satisfaction of the
Police Department, prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages, and prohibiting the admittance of
minors. In response to testimony received at the last Planning Commission hearing from an adjacent
property owner regarding trash being left behind by smoking lounge patrons, the business owner has
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05699
VARIANCE NO. 2013-04932
April 7, 2014
Page 3 of 4
agreed to clean the shared parking lots each morning. A condition of approval has been added to the
draft resolution memorializing this requirement.
At the previous Planning Commission meeting, the Commission requested a history of code
enforcement cases associated with the subject business. Code Enforcement staff has prepared a
memorandum, which is included as Attachment No. 4 to this staff report, outlining code enforcement
actions relating to this business since 2007. All code enforcement cases have been addressed and
subsequently closed, except for the unpermitted expansion of the outdoor smoking lounge and patio
cover that is the subject of the current request. Staff believes that the outdoor smoking lounge, as
conditioned, would be compatible with the surrounding businesses.
Parking Variance: Code requires 78 spaces for Nubia Café, including the restaurant and smoking
lounge areas, as well as the adjacent take-out restaurant on the same property. Thirteen parking
spaces are provided on site. The applicant is proposing to provide an additional 102 parking spaces
through agreements with adjacent propert y owners to the north and east, not including the 24 parking
spaces on the adjacent liquor store property. During the last hearing, the liquor store owner indicated
that Nubia Café patrons and employees are not allowed to park on this property. The proposed off-
site spaces include 65 spaces that are available when the smoking lounge opens at 4:30 p.m. until the
close of business. These parking spaces would be shared with the off-site businesses until they close
at 5:00 p.m. The additional 37 off-site parking spaces would be available after 8:00 p.m. when the
café is busiest and the adjacent businesses are closed. The location of these off-site spaces is shown
on submitted plans and the applicant’s letter of justification which is included as Attachment No. 3 to
the staff report. With these agreements, a total of 115 spaces are available for Nubia Café during its
peak operating hours, or 44 spaces more than required by Code. A condition of approval requiring
recordation of the parking agreements within 90 days is included in the draft resolution. Because 65
of the off-site parking spaces will be shared with other businesses for a short duration of time, the
applicant must obtain approval of a parking variance.
The applicant submitted a self-prepared parking demand analysis to justify the requested parking
variance. The smoking lounge experiences very little customer traffic prior to 8:00 p.m. and the
applicant indicates that the 13 on-site spaces and shared use of the 65 off-site spaces are more than
adequate to accommodate the parking demand of their customers and those of the adjacent take-out
restaurant, which closes at 9:00 p.m. Staff has conducted field observations between the hours of
4:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and verified the availability of adequate parking during these hours to meet
the parking demands of Nubia Café as well as the businesses that are sharing their parking spaces.
Based upon the applicant’s parking analysis and staff’s field observations, staff recommends approval
of the parking variance as the 78 parking spaces provided from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and the 115
spaces to be provided after 8:00 p.m. are adequate to accommodate the shared parking demand.

CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the restaurant and outdoor smoking lounge is compatible with the
adjacent commercial and industrial uses in the surrounding area. The applicant has proposed building
modifications that will ensure that the business complies with State labor laws. In addition, the
applicant plans to secure parking on adjacent properties in excess of Code requirements. Staff
recommends approval of this conditional use permit and variance.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05699 AND VARIANCE NO. 2013-04932
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013-00051)
(1783 – 1785 WEST LINCOLN AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as
the “Planning Commission”) did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-
05699 to permit an outdoor smoking lounge in conjunction with an existing restaurant in a
commercial building (herein referred to as the "Proposed Project") and Variance No. 2013-04932
to permit fewer parking spaces than required by the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code") for
that certain real property located at 1783 – 1785 West Lincoln Avenue in the City of Anaheim,
County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as
Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 0.3 acres, is developed with a
3,840 square foot commercial retail building with two tenants. The Property is located in and
subject to the regulations and development standards of the General Commercial (C-G) Zone.
The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Industrial land uses; and
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on February 24, 2014 at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing having
been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code (herein referred to as the “Code”), to hear and consider evidence for
and against proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05699 and Variance No. 2013-04932 and
to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith. The hearing
was continued to the regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on March 24, 2014 to
allow time to address issues raised during the public hearing. At the request of the applicant, the
hearing was continued an additional two weeks to the April 7, 2014 meeting; and
WHEREAS, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”), the Planning
Commission finds and determines that the proposed project is within that class of projects which
consist of the repair, maintenance, and/or minor alteration of existing public or private structures
or facilities, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of this
determination, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations, the proposed project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is,
therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study
made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at
said hearing with respect to the request to permit an outdoor smoking lounge in conjunction with
an existing restaurant, has determined that Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05699 should be
approved for the following reasons, does find and determine the following facts:
- 2 - PC2014-***
1. The proposed request to permit the Proposed Project in the General Commercial
(C-G) Zone, under the conditions imposed, is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Section 18.08.030.010 of the Code; and
2. The proposed conditional use permit to permit the Proposed Project, under the
conditions imposed, would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and
development of the area because the nearest residential structures are located more than 300 feet
from the outdoor patio area where smoking occurs. Moreover, the smoking lounge can operate in a
manner that is compatible with surrounding uses; and
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area nor to the health,
safety and general welfare of the public because the Property is currently improved with a
commercial retail building; and
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the
traffic generated by this use will not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the surrounding
streets and there is adequate parking on-site based on a parking demand analysis prepared for the
site and as verified by staff to accommodate the use; and
5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not
be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and the land use is
compatible with the surrounding area.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the
request for a variance to permit less parking than required by Code should be approved for the
following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of parking spaces.
(78 spaces required; 13 on-site spaces and 102
off-site spaces proposed)
1. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-
street parking spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably
foreseeable conditions of operation of such use based upon the conclusions contained in a self-
prepared parking demand analysis submitted by the applicant and verified by staff’s observations
of the the restaurant and hookah lounge between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m when the
Proposed Project shares parking spaces with adjacent businesses during their normal business
hours, and the availability of adequate parking during peak business hours. These observations
confirmed that adequate parking will be available for the existing and proposed uses as the 115
parking spaces, which includes 102 off-site parking spaces under parking agreements with
adjacent property owners; and
2. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the
demand and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed use because the on-site and off-site parking within the commercial retail property
and adjacent properties under agreement, will adequately accommodate the parking demands of
the Proposed Project and the other uses on the site; and
- 3 - PC2014-***
3. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the
demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed use because the on and off-site parking for the outdoor smoking lounge
and restaurant will adequately accommodate peak demands of the Proposed Project and all uses
on the site; and
4. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase traffic
congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the proposed use because the
project site provides adequate ingress and egress points to the property and are designed to allow
for adequate on-site circulation; and
5. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular
ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed use because the project site has existing ingress or egress access points that are
designed to allow adequate on-site circulation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05699 and Variance No. 2013-04932, contingent
upon and subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit B attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to
the proposed use of the Property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval
may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for compliance with
conditions of approval may be amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause
provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the
condition(s), (ii) the modification complies with the Code, and (iii) the applicant has
demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of the use or approved development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any amendment, modification or revocation of this
permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find and
determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's compliance
with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition, or any part
thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent
jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be deemed null and
void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes approval of
the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Code and any other applicable
City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to
compliance or approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or
requirement.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 7, 2014
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05718 AND
VARIANCE NO. 2013-04956
LOCATION: The site is located at the southwest corner of Euclid Street and
Westmont Drive.
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Joe Haupt with Spectrum
Development Group. The parcel owners are the City of Anaheim, the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and Spectrum Development Group.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to
construct an off-site parking lot with landscape setbacks less than required by the
Zoning Code to serve an adjacent office building.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
the attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from
further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Class 11, Accessory Structures) and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-
05718 and Variance No. 2013-04956.
BACKGROUND: This 1.1-acre vacant site consists of nine separate parcels and
public street right-of-way previously identified as Mariposa Place, and is located in
the General Commercial (C-G) zone. The site is designated for Mixed Use land
uses by the General Plan. Surrounding land uses include an office building to the
north across Westmont Drive, single family homes to the west, and the I-5 Freeway
to the south.
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to construct a new parking lot with 106
spaces. The purpose of the parking lot is to provide additional parking for the office
building located to the north across Westmont Drive at 505 North Euclid Street.
The proposed parking lot complies with all applicable Zoning Code requirements
with the exception of required landscaped setbacks.
ANALYSIS: The Zoning Code requires a conditional use permit to permit an
accessory parking lot in this zone. Approval of a variance is also required as the
parking lot would provide landscaped setbacks that are smaller than required by
Code. These applications are further described below: 200 S. Anaheim Blvd.

Page 2 of 3
Conditional Use Permit: The purpose of the conditional use permit is to ensure compatibility
with surrounding uses. The proposed project has been designed to minimize impacts to the
surrounding neighborhood, especially the single family homes to the west. For example, the
applicant proposes to provide a 10-foot wide planter with trees spaced 20 feet apart in
compliance with Code requirements. In addition, the applicant proposes to install an eight foot
high wall and 12-foot high light standards with shielding to minimize light glare impacts
adjacent to the single family homes. The applicant also proposes to install a new speed cushion
and stop sign on Westmont Street so as to provide for a safe pedestrian crossing between the
parking lot and office building. An encroachment permit for the use and parking lot
improvements that will encroach into the public right-of-way formerly identified as Mariposa
Place is required by Public Works prior to development of the parking lot. Based on these
design features, staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit.
Setback Variance: A variance is being requested to permit landscaped setbacks less than
required by Code. The required and proposed landscaped setbacks are as follows:
Landscaped Setback
Location
Adjacent to Required Planter
Width (feet)
Proposed Planter
Width (feet)
East Euclid Street 15 5
West Single Family Homes 10 10
North Westmont Drive 10 7
South I-5 Freeway 10 5
Setback requirements are intended to ensure that appropriate open landscaped areas are
maintained between the parking lot and the adjacent uses. Staff believes that the findings exist
for the granting of the requested setback variance due to the unique circumstances related to this
site. The property is surrounded by public roadways on three sides and is also adjacent to
existing steep slopes along Euclid Street and the I-5 Freeway. Due to the adjacent slopes, the
adjacent roadways to the east and south are substantially higher in grade. Because of the grade
difference, the property is less visible from the adjacent roadways and the reduced landscape
setbacks will not be noticeable. The planters adjacent to Euclid Street and the I-5 Freeway will
be heavily landscaped with canopy trees every 20 feet in compliance with Code. These planters
will also be supplemented by the adjacent landscaped slope areas owned by Caltrans. The
proposed landscape setback on Westmont Drive is seven feet wide, where 10 feet is required.
The irregular shape of the lot creates a physical constraint on the property which makes it
difficult to achieve a 10-foot setback in this location without losing a significant number of
parking spaces. In addition, although less than 10 feet, the proposed setback would exceed the
width of other landscaped setbacks along Westmont Drive. For example, the existing landscaped
setback for the office building on the north of the street is three feet wide. Based on these
reasons, staff recommends approval of this setback variance request.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05718
VARIANCE NO. 2013-04956
April 7, 2014
Page 3 of 3
CONCLUSION: The proposed parking lot would be compatible with the surrounding area as the
applicant has taken steps to minimize impacts to the surrounding area. The additional parking
would also promote more commercial activity and development opportunities along the North
Euclid Street corridor. In addition, the findings necessary to support the setback variance can be
met. Staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit and variance.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05718
AND VARIANCE NO. 2013-04956 AND MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013-00134)
(SOUTHWEST CORNER OF EUCLID STREET AND WESTMONT DRIVE)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Planning Commission (herein referred to as the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05718 to
construct a parking lot to provide accessory parking spaces for an existing office building located
at 505 North Euclid Street (herein referred to as the "Proposed Project") and Variance No. 2013-
04956 to permit landscape setbacks less than required by the Anaheim Municipal Code (the
“Code”) on that certain real property located adjacent to the aforementioned building at the
southwest corner of Euclid Street and Westmont Drive in the City of Anaheim, as generally
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Property"); and
WHEREAS, the 1.1-acre Property is currently vacant and consists of nine separate
parcels. The zoning for the Property is General Commercial (C-G). The Property is designated
for Mixed Use land uses by the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as
“CEQA”), the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental
Quality Act (herein referred to as the "CEQA Guidelines"), and the City's Local CEQA
Procedure Manual, the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of
environmental documents for the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”), the Planning Commission
finds and determines that the proposed project is within that class of projects which consist of the
construction or placement of minor structures accessory to existing commercial facilities,
including small parking lots, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15311 of Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the
environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, on April 7, 2014, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the
Civic Center in the City of Anaheim, notice of said public hearing having been duly given as
required by Resolution No. 95R-134 and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of
the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against the proposed Conditional Use Permit No.
2013-05718 and Variance No. 2013-04956, and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
- 2 - PC2014-***
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study
made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at
said hearing with respect to the request to construct a parking lot to provide accessory parking
spaces for an existing office building at 505 North Euclid Street, has determined that Conditional
Use Permit No. 2013-05718 should be approved for the following reasons, does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The request to permit the Proposed Project is properly one for which a conditional
use permit is authorized under Section 18.08.030.010 of the Code, which permits Automotive –
Public Parking as a primary use within the General Commercial (C-G) zone subject to approval
of a conditional use permit.
2. The proposed Project will not adversely affect the surrounding land uses, or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the proposed
Project has been designed to be compatible with surrounding residential uses to reduce or
eliminate any potential adverse impacts.
3. The size and shape of the site for the Proposed Project is adequate to allow the
full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or
health and safety because the site can accommodate the parking, traffic, and circulation without
creating detrimental effects on adjacent properties.
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the
vehicular circulation is designed to minimize impacts on the surrounding properties.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05718 under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim
and will provide a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the request
for Variance No. 2013-04956 for a landscape setback to allow less parking than required by
Code, should be approved for the following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.08.100.010 Minimum landscape setback.
(15 feet required along Euclid Street -
5 feet proposed; 10 feet required along the
I-5 freeway and Westmont Drive – 5 and 7
feet proposed)
1. There are special circumstances applicable to the Property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other property under the identical
zoning classification in the vicinity because the site is surrounded by public streets on three sides
and is also adjacent to existing steep slopes along Euclid Street and the I-5 Freeway. This site is
also smaller than other commercially-zoned properties in the surrounding area. In addition, the
planters adjacent to Euclid Street and the I-5 Freeway will be heavily landscaped with canopy
trees every 20 feet in compliance with Code and these planters will blend in with the existing
landscaped slope areas owned by Caltrans, and this will minimize its visual impact upon the
- 3 - PC2014-***
surrounding neighborhood. The seven foot setback proposed along Westmont Drive is greater

City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 7, 2014
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05708,
VARIANCE NO. 2014-04962, AND PUBLIC CONVENIENCE
OR NECESSITY NO. 2013-00101
LOCATION: 1680 West Broadway (Mobil Oil Gas Station)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Salima Haddad and the
property owner is Bharat Bhattrai.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit to permit
the expansion of an existing service station convenience market, permit the sales of
beer and wine for off-premises consumption and construct a new drive-through car
wash, with fewer parking spaces than required by code. The applicant also requests
a determination of public convenience or necessity to permit beer and wine sales.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
the attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from
further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class
3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and approving Conditional
Use Permit No. 2013-05708; Variance No. 2014-04962 and Determination of Public
Convenience or Necessity No. 2013-00101.
BACKGROUND: This .48-acre property is developed with a service station
containing two covered pump islands, a 634 square foot convenience market and a
1,284 square foot, three-bay automotive garage. The property is located in the
General Commercial (C-G) zone and the site is designated for General Commercial
land uses by the General Plan. Surrounding land uses include an automotive service
station to the north across Broadway, a bar and retail uses to the south, offices to the
east, and an automotive smog station to the west across Broadway.
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to expand an existing convenience market by
converting the adjoining three-bay automotive service area into a convenience
market with sales of beer and wine for off-premises consumption. The expanded
convenience market would have a total area of 1,648 square feet. The applicant also
proposes to construct a 640 square foot drive-through car wash. The automated, self-
service car wash facility would be located along the south property line. The existing
freestanding pole sign on the corner of Broadway and Euclid Street is proposed to be
removed and replaced with a new monument sign.

DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY NO. 2013-00101
April 7, 2014
Page 2 of 4
The service station and convenience market would be open 24 hours a day and the applicant
proposes to sell beer and wine from 6 a.m. to midnight. The car wash would be accessible to
patrons from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The business would have two employees on duty at any
given time.
The expansion of the convenience market and the addition of the self-serve car wash create a
parking demand of 14 spaces and the applicant is proposing eight spaces; therefore, a variance is
required to allow fewer parking spaces than required by code.
ANALYSIS: The General Commercial zone requires a conditional use permit for service
stations, including convenience markets with sales of beer and wine for off-premises
consumption, and car wash facilities. Approval of a variance is also required to allow a fewer
number of parking spaces than required by code. Following is staff’s analysis and
recommendation on the requested conditional use permit and variance:
Conditional Use Permit: The purpose of the conditional use permit is to ensure compatibility
with surrounding uses. The expanded convenience market will replace existing automobile
service bays within the existing footprint of the service station building. The convenience
market will provide a range of products, with approximately 5% of the total floor area designated
for the sale of beer and wine.
The self-serve car wash will be located adjacent to the southern property line adjacent to an
existing commercial center. Vehicles will enter the facility from a drive aisle along the northeast
side of the service station building and proceed through to the car wash which exits near the
southwest corner of the property facing Euclid Street. Patrons would remain in the vehicle
during the car wash. No dry off area is proposed. Air and water dispensers are proposed at the
northeast corner of the property and the self-serve vacuum would be located at the southeast
corner of the property. Staff considered the potential impacts of the car wash on surrounding
properties and found that the nearest residential units are an apartment complex located
approximately 175 feet east of the self-serve vacuums and 225 feet from the self-serve car wash.
Noise impacts to these uses are not anticipated due to these distance separations. All existing
landscaping will be retained and a condition of approval would require artificial vines be planted
along the south facing wall of the car wash building in order to deter graffiti. Staff believes the
car wash will add an amenity for the patrons of the service station and would be compatible with
surrounding uses.
Public Convenience or Necessity: State law limits the issuance of new licenses when an
alcoholic beverage license is requested for a property located in a police reporting district with a
crime rate above the City average or when there is an overconcentration in the number of
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) licenses within a census tract.
However, the law also states that such restrictions can be waived if the local jurisdiction makes a
determination that the proposed business would serve "public convenience or necessity."
A determination of Public Convenience or Necessity is required for this application because this
property is located within a reporting district with an above average crime rate.

DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY NO. 2013-00101

Page 3 of 4
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control bases the number of permitted alcohol
licenses on the population in the Census Tract. The subject site is located within Census Tract
No. 871.05 which has a population of 4,635. As a result, two off-sale licenses are permitted in
this Census Tract and presently there is one off-sale licenses in the tract. In addition, five on-
sale licenses are allowed and currently there are three such licenses in the tract.
This store is located in Police Reporting District No. 1732 which has a crime rate that is 33
percent above the City’s average crime rate. The Anaheim Police Department also analyzes
public convenience or necessity requests based on crime statistics within a ¼ mile radius of the
subject site. This approach provides a complete assessment of crime in the surrounding area and
gives an accurate depiction of crime and its relation, if any, to the subject site. This
measurement also results in a uniform standard for evaluation of PCN applications, regardless of
a project site’s location or the size of a reporting district. The crime rate within a one quarter
mile radius of this site is 268 percent above the citywide average based upon calls for service.
However, approximately half the calls for service were reports of petty theft related to the Target
shopping center at the southwest corner of Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street. Other calls for
service in the area include vandalism and simple assaults, which are due, in part, to the proximity
of Chaparral Park. There have been 10 calls for service to the service station in the last year
consisting of three panhandling instances, two robberies, one petty theft, two disturbances, one
vandalism incident and one suspicious circumstance. Police Department staff indicates that the
number of calls to this business in the last year is not considered excessive.
The attached statement of justification for determination of public convenience or necessity by
the applicant indicates that the sales area for beer and wine would be incidental to the range of
products offered in the convenience store. Staff believes that with the recommended conditions
of approval relating to restrictions on alcoholic beverage packaging, displays, signage, property
maintenance, and on-site consumption, that the use would be compatible with the surrounding
commercial land uses.
Parking Variance: The proposed convenience market and car wash facility require a total of
14 parking spaces based upon a ratio of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building area for the
convenience market, 1 space for the car wash, plus a drying area for 5 cars. A total of eight
parking spaces are proposed. As indicated, two employees would be on duty during each shift,
leaving six parking spaces available for patrons of the business. The applicant has provided a
written justification, indicating that the proposed parking would be adequate to support the
service station, convenience market, and self-serve car wash because customers of self-serve car
washes, unlike full-service car washes, typically drive through the facility and do not park. In
addition, the applicant indicates that customers who use the service station to pump gas are the
primary customers of the convenience market and do not use on-site parking spaces. Staff has
observed the operations and parking demands of similar service stations with convenience
markets and self-service car wash facilities. These observations confirm that customers of self-
service car wash facilities do typically drive through the facility without parking. Occasionally,
customers were observed briefly drying their vehicles using on-site parking spaces. Based on
staff’s observations and a review of the information provided by the applicant, staff believes that
the number of parking spaces proposed will be adequate to serve the customers of the service

station, convenience market and car wash without negatively impacting the availability of on-site
parking, or availability of parking on surrounding properties and public streets.
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that expanded convenience market with sales of beer and wine
for off-premises consumption, and the proposed self-serve car wash are compatible with the
existing service station and surrounding commercial land uses. Further, staff believes that the
proposed number of parking spaces is adequate to serve the proposed business based on the
parking demand of self-serve car washes and convenience markets when incorporated with
service stations. Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit and parking variance.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05708 , PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY
NO. 2013-00101 FOR A TYPE 20 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE AND
VARIANCE NO. 2014-04962
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013-00118)
(1680 WEST BROADWAY)
WHEREAS, on July 11, 1995, the City Council of the City of Anaheim (herein
referred to as the "City Council") adopted Resolution No. 95R-134 establishing procedures and
delegating certain responsibilities to the Planning Commission relating to the determination of
"public convenience or necessity" on those certain applications requiring that such
determinations be made by the local governing body pursuant to applicable provisions of the
California Business and Professions Code, and prior to the issuance of a license by the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (herein referred to as "ABC"); and
WHEREAS, Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that ABC
shall deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law
enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses,
except when an applicant has demonstrated that public convenience or necessity would be served
by the issuance of a license; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as
the “Planning Commission”) did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit
No. 2013-05708 in conjunction with an application for (i) a determination of Public Convenience
or Necessity No. 2013-00101 to permit beer and wine sales with a Type 20 (off-sale beer and
wine) ABC license for off-premises consumption, to expand an existing service station
convenience market, construct a new drive-through car wash, and (ii) Variance No. 2014-04962
to allow fewer parking spaces than required by the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code")
(herein referred to collectively as the "Proposed Project") for that certain real property located at
1680 Broadway in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference
(herein referred to as the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on April 7, 2014 at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been
duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code (herein referred to as the “Code”), to hear and consider evidence for
and against proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05708, Public Convenience or Necessity
No. 2013-00101and Variance No. 2013-04932 and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
- 2 - PC2014-***
WHEREAS, the Property is located on a .48-acre site developed with a service station,
three automotive service bays and a convenience market, located in the C-G (General
Commercial) zone. The site is designated for General Commercial land uses in the City of
Anaheim General Plan; and
WHEREAS, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”), the Planning
Commission finds and determines that the Proposed Project is within that class of projects which
consist of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures.
Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines provides examples of projects that qualify for an
exemption from the provisions of CEQA. The one example that is applicable to the Proposed
Project is for the construction of "up to four commercial buildings [on a legal parcel] not
exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of
significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are
available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive." The Proposed Project fits
within that example, and, therefore, pursuant to Section 15303 of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and
is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study
made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at
said hearing pertaining to Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05708 does find and determine the
following facts:
1. The request to allow beer and wine sales with a Type 20 (off-sale beer and
wine) ABC license for off-premises consumption in a proposed service station
convenience market and a self-service, drive-through car wash is properly one for which
a conditional use permit is authorized under Section 18.08.030.010 (Alcoholic Beverage
Sales and Off Sale, Automotive-Washing) of the Code.
2. The service station convenience market with off-premises consumption
of beer and wine and a drive-through self-service car wash would not adversely affect the
surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area because the expansion
of the convenience market with added sales of beer and wine for off premises
consumption and the drive-through, self-service car wash is compatible with commercial
uses and other uses within the area.
3. The size and shape of the Property is adequate to allow the full operation
of the existing and proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to
the health, safety and general welfare of the public because the property is currently
improved with a service station and small mini-market.
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the
area because the traffic generated by this use will not exceed the anticipated volumes of
traffic on the surrounding streets.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed
will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and
will provide a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the
request for a variance for less parking than required by the Code should be approved for the
following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of parking spaces.
(14 spaces required; 8 spaces proposed)
1. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not cause fewer off-
street parking spaces to be provided for the Proposed Project than the number of such
spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal
and reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of such use. The applicant’s submitted
letter of justification indicated that eight parking spaces is susfficient for the on-site uses.
The letter of justification states that the proposed number of parking spaces in
conjunction with the Proposed Project is sufficient based upon the operational
characteristics of the uses associated with the Proposed Project based upon the
conclusions for parking demand submitted by the applicant and as verified by staff’s
observation of other similar facilities; and
2. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the
demand and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate
vicinity of the Proposed Project because the on-site parking will adequately
accommodate the parking demands of the Proposed Project; and
3. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the
demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed use because the on-site parking will adequately
accommodate the parking demands of the Proposed Project; and
4. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic
congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the Proposed Porject
because the project site provides adequate ingress and egress points to the Property that
are designed to allow for adequate on-site circulation; and
5. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not impede vehicular
ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate
vicinity of the Proposed Project because the project site has existing ingress and egress
points that are designed to allow adequate on-site circulation and, therefore, will not
impede vehicular ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in
the immediate vicinity of the Proposed Project.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and
study made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports
offered at said hearing pertaining to the request for Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2013-
00101, does find and determine the following facts:
- 4 - PC2014-***
1. California State law requires a determination of "public convenience or
necessity" when property is located in a reporting district that has a crime rate above the
average and has an over-concentration of licenses; and that Section 23958 of the Business
and Professions Code provides that the ABC shall deny an application for a license if
issuance of that license would tend to create a law enforcement problem except when an
applicant has demonstrated that public convenience or necessity would be served by
issuance of a license.
2. Resolution No. 95R-134 authorizes the City of Anaheim Police
Department to make recommendations related to public convenience or necessity
determinations; and when the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption is
permitted by the Code, said recommendations shall take the form of conditions of
approval to be imposed on the determination in order to ensure that the sale and
consumption of alcoholic beverages does not adversely affect any adjoining land use or
the growth and development of the surrounding area.
3. The Property is located within Census Tract No. 871 with a population of
4,635 that allows for two off-sale ABC licenses and there is presently one license in the
tract; and, five on-sale licenses and there is presently three such licensees in the tract.
The Anaheim Police Department evaluates these requests based on the crime rates within
the police reporting district by utilizing a one quarter mile radius for the subject Property.
The subject Property has a 268 percent above average crime rate within a one quarter
mile radius and is located within Reporting District 1722, which has crime rate of 33
percent above the average. There have been ten calls for service to this location in the
last year.
4. A Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity can be made based
on the finding that the license requested is consistent with the Planning Commission
guideline for such determinations and further that the granting of the Determination of
Public Convenience or Necessity under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to
the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as the sale of alcoholic
beverages is ancillary to the products sold at the convenience store and would serve as an
added convenience to those who choose to shop at this establishment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05708 and Variance No. 2014-04962 and determines
that the public convenience or necessity will be served by the issuance of a license for the sale of
beer and wine at the Property for off-premises consumption, all of which entitlements are hereby
approved contingent upon and subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit B
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which are hereby found to be a
necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property in order to preserve the health, safety
and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to
complete conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the
Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of approval may be amended by the Planning
Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies
the original intent and purpose of the condition(s), (ii) the modification complies with the Code,
and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of the use or
approved development.
- 5 - PC2014-***
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05708, Variance
No. 2014-04962 and Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2013-00101 are approved without
limitations on the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of these
permits may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find and
determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's compliance
with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition, or any part
thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent
jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be deemed null and
void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes approval of
the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Code and any other applicable
City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to
compliance or approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or
requirement.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of
April 7, 2014. Said Resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
(“Zoning Provisions - General”) of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures
and may be replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

Project Name: Broadway Retail Inc. Property Owner: Bharat Bhattarai Project Address: 1680 W. Broadway Anaheim, Ca. 92802 Tel: (310)-357-7290 Fax: (310)-541-8711 E-mail: bobby_bhattarai@yahoo.com Re: Conditional Use Permit # 3013-05708, Variance # 2014-04962 and Public Convenience or Necessity # 2013-00101 (DEV2013-00118) The project is located at 1680 West Broadway, at the southeast corner of Broadway and Euclid street. With lot area of 21230 Sq. Ft. (0.48 acre).
Project description: Change of use from (E) 3-bay garage and minimart to Minimart only under existing roof (no change of footprint 1648 Sq. Ft.) and proposed new detached drive thru-carwash (640 Sq. Ft.). Plus an additional request to obtain CUP for beer and wine for the minimart.
Hours of operation and Number of Employees:
The hours of operation of the service station and convenience market are 24 hours a day, in other hand new 640 Sq. ft. drive thru carwash self service will be open 7 am to 7 pm . Employees shift will be 3 times a day with rotation of 7 employees.
Parking Variance:
The variance is required for fewer parking spaces than required by code. The expansion of convenience market and the addition of a car wash create parking demand of 14 spaces. We are providing eight spaces and we believe these spaces are sufficient to support this location. We know from experience that most patrons will use the minimart while pumping the gas under the canopy, which therefore decreases demand for additional parking spaces. Further, carwash patrons remain in their car and depart after the wash cycle is completed. The variance request for fewer parking spaces will not create parking shortage on the site. Most self-service car wash facilities, such as what we are proposing, do not require 14 parking spaces when it is known that the customer will leave the site once the car wash is done.
Beer and wine:
My request for CUP beer and wine is type 21 off sale general (package store). Authorizes the sale beer and wine for consumption off the premises where sold, in addition the sale area for beer and wine would be less than 5 % of the products sold at the location and that it is not intended to be primary sales item in store, also can be sold in 6 packs minimum. In addition hours for sale beer and wine will be 6 am to 12 midnight.
